고형물 함유 유기폐수의 효율적인 메탄에너지 회수를 위해서 이상소화 반응시스템에 정밀여과시스템을 결합하여 시험하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 막분리 시스템은 산발효조내에 침지시켜 압축공기로 주기적으로 역세척하였고 셀룰로오스재질의 $0.5{\mu}m$ 크기의 막공경을 가진 카트릿지 형태의 정밀여과막을 사용하였다. 메탄발효조는 플라스틱 충진물을 반응기부피의 반 정도 채운 AUBF (Anaerobic Upflow Sludge Bed Filter) 를 사용하였다. 합성폐수는 선분 5,000 mg/L을 기질로 사용하였으며 운전부하에 따른 COD 제거특성을 조사하였다. 산발효조의 HRT는 10일에서 4.5일까지 단계적으로 감소시켰고 이때의 유기물 용적부하는 0.5에서 $1.0kg\;COD/m^3-day$ 로 변회되었다. 한편, 메탄발효조의 HRT는 2.8일에서 0.5일까지 단계적으로 감소시켰고 이때의 유기물 용적부하는 0.8에서 $5.8kg\;COD/m^3-day$까지 변화되었다. 산발효조의 경우 체류시간 4~5 일에서 80% 이상의 우수한 산선환율을 나타내었다. 메탄발효조의 경우에는 장기간의 운전을 통한 슬러지의 입상화에 기인하여 유기물 부하의 변동에 크게 관련없이 95% 이상 (처리수 COD 300 mg/L 이하)의 우수한 COD 제거특성을 나타내었다. 막분리형 이상소화공정은 산발효조의 미생물농도를 증가시켜 산전환율을 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성을 보여 주었고, 복합형 염기성 반응기는 우수한 COD 및 SS 제거를 나타내었다.

혐기성 소화조의 단면적/용량 비를 일정하게 한 상태에서 반응조 직경만을 달리한 반응조에 유기물 부하율에 따른 소화조 운전효율을 평가하였다. $0.4\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$의 낮은 유기물 부하율에서는 반응조 직경에 관계없이 높은 처리 효율을 나타내어 반응조 형상에 따른 처리효율 차이는 없었다. $6\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$의 유기물 부하율에서는 반응조 직경에 따라 전혀 다른 처리효율이 관측되었다. 즉, 직경 6.4 cm 반응조에서는 휘발성산의 축적과 낮은 COD 제거효율이 관측되었으나 직경 3 cm 반응조에서는 높은 COD 제거효율이 관측되었고 휘발성산의 축적도 일어나지 않았다. 이러한 차이가 나타나게 된 이유는 직경이 작은 반응조의 경우에는 생성된 가스의 부상에 의해 슬러지층의 유동화가 원활하게 일어난데 반해 직경이 큰 반응조의 경우에는 그렇지 못한 것이라고 판단된다. $20\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$의 높은 유기물 부하율에서는 반응조 직경과는 관계없이 극히 낮은 처리효율을 나타내어 높은 유기물 부하에서는 반응조 형상과 처리효율과는 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 혐기성 소화조의 효율적인 start-up은 슬러지층의 유동화가 중요한 인자이며 동일 단면적/용량 비에서 반응조 직경이 작을수록 유리한 것으로 나타나 반응조 형상도 반응조 운전효율에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

An experimental investigation has been carried out to evaluate the characteristics in wastewater treatment using an anaerobic packed bed bioreactor with ceramics, rubber sponge, soft stone A, and soft stone B as carrier. The results of the work have shown that soft stone A as a carrier was superior to other carriers in methane production, then the content of methane for soft stone A was about 70%. First of all, soft stone A had higher efficiency of the COD removal than the others in response of passing the operation, as well as it had a low volatile acid in reactor. In addition, the slope of methane production with respect to the removal of COD ($m^{3}CH_{4}$/kgCOD) was 0.58 for soft stone A. In biomass hold-up equation for each carriers, the equation of soft stone A was m$_{p}$=714 ($C_{o}/0.41+C_{o}$) and it was the largest in this experimented carriers. Based upon the results obtained, it is suggested that the major effective carrier in wastewater treatments within the packed bed bioreactor used in this experimental work by soft stone A.

자연정화공법에 의한 농촌 전원 독립가구 하수처리공법 개발을 위하여 호기성조와 혐기성조가 분리된 소형 하수처리 장치에서 혐기성조 위에 호기성조를 포갠 일체형으로 공법을 개선한 소형 하수처리장치를 설계 및 시공하여 하수처리공법별, 하수 부하량 및 하수 주입방법에 따른 수처리 효율을 조사하였다. 소형 하수처리장치의 최적공법은 호기-무산소-혐기조건이었으며, 최적여재는 쇄석이었고, 최적 하수 부하량은 $1,200L/m^3{\cdot}day$이었다. 이러한 조건에서 농촌 전윈 독립가구에서 간헐적으로 배출되는 하수에 대한 대응성을 조사하기 위해 하수 주입방법에 따른 하수처리효율을 조사한 결과 농촌 전원 독립가구 하수처리공법으로 개발된 호기-무산소-혐기조건인 소형 하수처리장치는 실제 농촌 전원독립가구에서 간헐적으로 발생되는 하수에 그대로 적용하더라도 현행 방류수 수질기준인 BOD 20 mg/L, COD 40 mg/L, SS 20 mg/L, T-N 60 mg/L 및 T-P 8 mg/L을 만족할 뿐만 아니라, 방류수 수질기준이 앞으로 BOD 10 mg/L, T-N 20 mg/L 및 T-P 2 mg/L로 강화되더라도 안정적으로 처리될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과에서 농촌 전원 독립가구 하수처리공법으로 개발한 호기-무산소-혐기조건인 소형 하수처리장치는 BOD 99%, COD 95%, SS 99%, T-N 83% 및 T-P 96%초 질소 처리효율을 호기성조와 혐기성조가 분리된 소형 하수처리장치에 비해 17%정도 향상시켰으며, 모든 조가 일체형이므로 부지면적을 최소화할 수 있다. 따라서 본 공법은 자연정화공법의 단점을 보완할 수 있으므로 농촌 전원 독립가구에 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 하부가 활성탄 유동상이고 상부가 플라스틱 충전상인 혐기성 혼성 반응조에서 활성탄충의 유동을 위한 내부순환수의 인출지점이 폐수처리 효율에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 순환수 인출지점이 유동상 위(R1 반응조) 또는 충전상 위(R2 반응조)에 위치하는 2개의 반응조에 인공폐수를 주입하여 실험을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, $6.2kg\; COD/m^3-day$의 유기물부하(OLR)까지는 R2 반응조의 COD 제거효율이 85.0-95.2%로, R1 반응조보다 좋았으나 그 차이는 크지 않았으며, 그 이상의 OLR에서는 두 반웅조의 COD 제거효율이 크게 악화되었는데 R2 반응조보다 R1 반응조에서 그 경향이 더 심하였다. R2 반응조가 R1 반응조 보다 대략 2배의 넓은 OLR 영역에서 안정적으로 운전되었는데 R2 반응조의 최대 메탄생성량은 $13.3kg\;COD/m^3-day$의 OLR에서$5.5kg\;COD/m^3-day$이었다. 또한 R1 반응조에서는 $6.2kg \;COD/m^3-day$ 이상의 OLR에서, 그리고 R2 반응조에서는 $7.1kg\; COD/m^3-day$ 이상의 OLR에서 처리수의 유기산 농도가 크게 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 그 경향은 R1 반응조에서 더 현저하였다. 결론적으로 활성탄충의 유동을 위한 내부순환수의 인출지점에 따라 반응조가 처리가능한 유기물 부하 범위가 달라졌는데, 유기물 부하가 높을수록 내부순환수의 인출지점을 반응조 부피 전체를 이용할 수 있도록 충전상의 상부에 위치시키는 것이 더 바람직한 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 유기성 고형폐기물 처리에 적합한 벤치스케일 침출상 반응조를 이용하여 효율적인 산발효 및 수소발효의 거동특성을 살펴보았다. 산발효조는 혐기성 소화슬러지를 식종한 후 희석율 2.0, 3.0, $4.0d^{-1}$로 운전이 되었으며, 수소발효조는 열처리된 소화슬러지를 식종한 후 희석율 2.0, 4.0, $6.0d^{-1}$로 운전이 되었다. 산발효조는 희석율 $3.0d^{-1}$에서 운전되었을 때 최대의 COD 전환율 56.2%가 얻어졌으며 이때 전환된 COD는 모두 유기산으로 전환되었다. 반면에 수소발효조는 산발효조보다 높은 COD 전환율(49.3%)을 보여주지 못했지만, 높은 에너지 수율을 가지고 있을 뿐 아니라 친환경 청정에너지인 수소가스(전체 COD 중 5.1%)를 부산물로 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로 처리목적에 따라 산발효나 수소발효를 유기성 고형폐기물에 적용할 수 있으며, 이는 혐기성처리 기술의 경제성을 향상시킬 수 있다.

Two mesophilic trickling bed bioreactors filled with two different types of media, hydrophilic- and hydrophobic-cubes, were designed and tested for hydrogen production via anaerobic fermentation of sucrose. Each reactor consisted of a column packed with polymeric cubes and inoculated with heat-treated sludge obtained from anaerobic digestion tank. A defined medium containing sucrose was fed with changing flow rate into the capped reactor, hydraulic retention time and recycle rate. Hydrogen concentrations in gas-phase were constant, averaging 40% for all conditions tested. Hydrogen production rates increased up to $10.5 L{\cdot};h^{-1}{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of reactor when influent sucrose concentrations and recycle rates were varied. Hydrophobic media provided higher value of hydrogen production rate than hydrophilic media at the same operation conditions. No methane was detected when the reactor was under a normal operation. The major fermentation by-products in the liquid effluent of the both trickling biofilters were acetate and butyrate. The reactor filled with hydrophilic media became clogged with biomass and bio gas, requiring manual cleaning of the system, while no clogging occurred in the reactor with hydrophobic media. In order to make long-term operation of the reactor filled with hydrophilic media feasible, biofilm accumulation inside the media in the reactor with hydrophilic media and biogas produced from the reactor will need to be controlled through some process such as periodical backwashing or gas-purging. These tests using trickling bed biofilter with hydrophobic media demonstrate the feasibility of the process to produce hydrogen gas in a trickle-bed type of reactor. A likely application of this reactor technology could be hydrogen gas recovery from pre-treatment of high carbohydrate-containing wastewaters.

Anaerobic treatment of wastewater of the red- bean processing industry was carried out and discussed an anaerobic sludge bed reactor( ASBR) as a preliminary study to evaluate applicability of given processes. The dimension of reactor were same as 0.09m- ID$\times $1.5m- height. The type of substrate and the hydraulic retention time( HRT) were considered as experimental variables. The synthetic wastewater with glucose in the laboratory, the wastewater from the red bean processing industry mixed with synthetic wastewater with variation of mixing percent were fed as substrate. The hydraulic retention time was changed from one day to five days. The gas production, the methane content in produced gas, efficiencies of COD removal and 55 removal were evaluated as principal characteristics. With synthetic wastewater as a substrate and at a hydraulic retention time of one day, characteristics of ASBR was the gas production(12$\ell$/day ), the methane content of produced gas(60%), the efficiency of COD removal(92%) and 55 removal(30%). With the real wastewater and at a hydraulic retention time of one day, the gas production and the efficiency of COD removal of the ASBR decreased with the proportion of real wastewater. The gas production and the efficiency of COD removal with real wastewater only was decreased to 70% and 87% of those with synthetic wastewater only, respectively. However, the methane content in produced gas and the efficiency of 55 removal with real wastewater only was increased significantly by 1.25 times and two times of those with synthetic wastewater only, respectively. However, the methane content in produced gas and the efficiency of 55 removal with real wastewater only was increased significantly by 1.25 times and two times of those with synthetic wastewater only, respectively. With real wastewater only as a substrate in the ASBR, the gas production was decreased with an increase of HRT, but the efficiency of COD removal increased with HRTI like the usual trend reported. As a conclusion, the wastewater of the red- bean Processing industry could be treated by anaerobic digestion successfully in the ASBR.Anaerobic treatment of wastewater of the red- bean processing industry was carried out and discussed an anaerobic sludge bed reactor( ASBR) as a preliminary study to evaluate applicability of given processes.

In this research, the synthetic livestock wastewater was prepared to study the characteristics of organic matter removal, the change of VFA production, and the amount of gas production with respect to the change of ammonium nitrogen concentration in the waste using anaerobic fixed bed process, which is an anaerobic biofilm process. The HRT and operation temperature were 1 day and $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, respectively. Also, the characteristics of organic matter removal and the inhibitory effect on microorganism in the anaerobic process were studied on the organic loading and ammonium nitrogen concentration. The results obtained were as follows: For COD loading of $10kg/m^3$-day and five levels of ammonium nitrogen concentration ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 mg/L, organic removal efficiencies were about 81, 74, 67, 58, and 51%, and gas productions were 3,860, 3,520, 3,240, 3,020, and 2,790 ml/l-day, respectively. Average methane contents in the gas produced on COD loading of $10kg/m^3$-day was about 76%. Throughout the whole period of experiment, remaining VFA (as COD base) in the effluent was over 90% of remaining COD. This result indicated the inhibitory effect of high concentration of ammonium nitrogen through the facts that accumulated VFA was almost COD and organic removal efficiency decreased also with the increase of ammonium nitrogen. Especially, that implys which high concentration of ammonium nitrogen not only inhibits methane forming bacteria, but also acid forming bacteria.

This study was carried to investigate the treatment characteristics of the phenol and catechol with an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor(AFBR) having a dimension of 9 cm i.d. and 1.25 m height. The reactor was operated at $35\pm 1\circ$C. The COD concentration of the effluent, the gas production rate and the composition of gas were measured to determine the performance of the AFBR as the hydraulic retention time(HRT) was decreased from 2 days to i day at 600 mg/l of the phenol and catechol concentration. Stable treatment of the phenol wastewater could be achieved with the AFBR at 18 days but the catechol wastewater couldn't be. At HRT 2 days, the phenol wastewater showed the COD reduction efficiency of 93% and the gas production of 2.7 l/day and the catechol wastewater was obtained the COD reduction efficiency of 82% and the gas production of 0.72 l/day. Also at HRT 1 day the phenol and catechol wastewater showed the COD reduction efficiency of 95% and 73% and the gas production of 4.0 l/day and 1.25 l/day, respectively.
